Don't you all realize that this is literally why "fake news" is such a problem these days? This article is 40% rumor and hearsay, 50% complete conjecture, and MAYBE 10% fact. Yet everyone looks at it and rather than saying, "Oh, it's a bunch of random shit being thrown at a wall, maybe I should just ignore it," everyone is just like "Well, yeah, it's PROBABLY bullshit. But what if it's not...?"

If you whine about "the media" and how you "can't trust anything," it's your own goddamn fault. If you can't even look at a clearly shitty "article" and dismiss it, what hope do you have of actually evaluating the accuracy of real reporting.

It's depressing. The world is full of idiots who believe anything they read on the internet.

Believe it or not, success sometimes leads to people getting big heads and egos clashing. Why hasn't EB been given a new deal yet if everything is so lovely? Why is freaking Lovie Smith still getting head coaching jobs and EB can't? Even if every word of this article isn't spot on, it's pretty clear there were some serious issues in the locker room for the past 1-2 years, you could see it in the players body language some games. I kept saying it over and over again as did many of us, something was just off.

Sometimes you just have to believe your eyes and put the pieces together yourself, especially when you know they're never going to tell you exactly what happened. Even if the article is totally fictional, it sure seems like the situation described could be pretty accurate.

Well hey there.
